Back in the game, getting ready to inherit tenants

[Soniel Estime]

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

I had a duplex that I sold in 2021, now I’m getting ready to get back in the game. Last time I placed the tenant myself. They were someone I knew so placing them and managing them was super easy.

This time I will be inheriting tenants, and in a city like Chicago I want to make sure I do everything right.

1. What steps should I take now, to prepare for inheriting these tenants?

2. What’s the best way to get a very good lease (I used rocket-lawyer last time)

3. What’s the best way to find a good handyman (I did a lot of the repairs myself last time, but want to be more hands off now).

4. Any recommendations on a good property management platform? I’m planing on using Rent Ready, if you have used it please let me know your experience with the platform.

Thanks so much, let’s have this year be the best year ever!!
